The new lodge built is just slip into the openings in the existing structure : a light structure made of wood, in a yellow color.

Purposes :
-.To suppress the ambiguity between the entrance of the school and of the housing.
-To point out the school by creating a colorful, playful façade that incorporates in its composition the elements of identification (address) and information (bulletin board)
-Create a dialogue between the existing architecture and the new lodge

The lodge caretaker is designed as an autonomous structure that includes its own floor, walls and ceiling. This structure is thought up as an element of urban furniture. In this project, we integrate all the program’s data concerning bulletin boards but also a part of the furniture which was not included as the desk, the shelves and the locker room which are an integral part of the project.
The structure of the lodge consists of a wooden posts/beams structure, covered by a panel wood on each side and then resin to prevent joints : the complex between 15 and 20 cm thick includes a thermal / sound insulation.
